A Love to Die For Kindle Edition


In A Love to Die For, Ron and Grace Butler share the kind of love and marriage that inspires poets and songwriters. But when Grace returns to an empty house one morning, a period of panic and confusion leads to a terrible discovery: Ron is dead. This sudden vacuum in her life destroys her completely, as well as their children. There was no chance to say goodbye-for any of them.

How can she pull herself together enough to get through the eulogy for the love of her life, much less the days, weeks, and years that follow? How can she try to move on and still honor the legendary love they shared?

As friends and family take care of Grace, she gradually works her way through the feelings of loss and emptiness. Will she emerge on the other side of her grief and help others learn to do the same?

Latest Review: A Love To Die For by Joseph Seechack

A Love To Die For by Joseph Seechack is a dive into grief and the world-shattering pain that follows the death of a loved one. Grace and Ron were deeply in love and had shared many years together. Then, one day, Grace returned home and learned that her beloved husband had died. Grace never had the opportunity to say goodbye to the love of her life and now must learn how to live without him, a task that seems impossible. Her world had been turned upside down in a moment, and healing seemed to be impossible. Will Grace learn how to continue living, or did her life end with Ron's?

The main focus of this book was the character development rather than the plot. Once Grace learned of Ron's death, her world was forever changed. Her children also were impacted greatly by this event. The strange manner in which Ron died made her the talk of the town, adding a layer of hurt to an already heartbreaking situation. Grace had many struggles to overcome, and the emotional beats of the novel did not shy away from that. The emotions the book portrayed were raw and capable of striking a cord in anyone, which was the greatest strength of the book, in my opinion.

I also must applaud Seechack for his use of language. Many of the characters had haunting lines that stuck with me long after I finished the book. Grace's eulogy, for example, contained a few heartwrenching sentences that explain grief in a visceral way. The book also appeared to be professionally edited, as I only noticed a few errors.

I rate this book
5 out of 5 stars. It painted a vivid picture of the world of grief and healing. I enjoyed seeing Grace's journey and how she grew as the book progressed. There was also nothing that I truly disliked about the book, so I see no reason to give it anything other than a perfect rating. I believe that this book would be of interest to anyone who enjoys novels focusing on character growth. I believe that both teens and adults would be able to enjoy this book. It is short enough to be read in a day or two, but the emotional impact will stay with you far longer than that.

Hello everyone. I am writing to introduce myself. My name is Joseph Seechack. I am a writer, author and novelist for Koehler Books.

I am the author of my debut novel, “A Love To Die For” which was published by Koehler Books in February 2024.

“A Love To Die For” has received several Five Star Reviews. It is available everywhere, including a number of other countries.

Here is a synopsis:

This is a story that will make readers feel, really feel. It will grab readers by the collar with two hands and pull them into the story and hopefully be changed, and find hope and energy from the story.

Grace and Ron Butler had a legendary love and marriage. They radiated so much incredible, beautiful love to everyone. If Love had a Mount Rushmore, Ron and Grace would be certainly be on it.

Then Grace comes home to an empty house. She later learns that the love of her life Ron, died under very unusual circumstances. There was no chance to say goodbye. The last kiss from Ron when she went out, really was her last kiss from Ron. Grace is far beyond devastated; she is annihilated. Her perfect love is dead.

Their magical love together was the strong foundation that their lives were built on. Now, without Ron, how is she going to move on and rebuild some kind of life for herself and her two fatherless children?

Luckily Grace is blessed with amazingly strong, incredibly loving girlfriends who help to” Reassemble her” and carry her along through the process of rebuilding a life for herself and her two children. They are the real heroines of this story.

The only villain in this story is Death itself, the cause of all of her pain. Death is both unavoidable and inevitable. What can Grace do?

How does Grace endure the constant, tortuous, unending pain of this “sudden vacuum” in her life without Ron. How can she pull herself together enough to do a eulogy worthy of their legendary love and marriage for Ron and their children?

Her eulogy is heartbreaking. It will make readers cry. When she saw Ron in his coffin, her heart pleaded with her to be buried with him, and so it was. She just couldn’t stand for their hearts to be apart.

Readers cannot jump into the story and help Grace. All they can do is cheer her on. Readers will share in a great “Catharsis” as she evolves to a place where she not only helps herself, she can help others to learn what she has learned so that they can rebuild their own lives. Grace is “The Triumph of the individual” over incredible, endless pain over the loss of True Love; all with the help of her heroic girlfriends.

With all the darkness and suffering in this book, these is a great deal of unexpected humor and laughter for the reader to bring some balance into the story. And make for a more enjoyable experience for the reader.
